What Is OCR & Document Understanding?
Agent document understanding is the operational layer that lets an AI agent recover text, layout, tables, equations, and handwriting from visual or scanned documents programmatically.
Document workflows often split across different providers. One route may be best for OCR, another for equations, another for layout, and another for handwriting recovery. That fragmentation forces the agent to carry provider-specific logic for tasks that should stay behind one contract.
AgentRouter keeps those jobs behind one routed document surface so the agent can recommend a route before execution and switch providers as cost or quality changes.
Top Scenarios
Recover readable text when the workflow starts with a scan, screenshot, or photographed document.

Quick Start
Get an API key, ask AgentRouter to recommend the best route for the job, and execute through one shared wallet instead of wiring each provider separately.
Step 1
Enable the API once
Create one AgentRouter API key that can be reused across all live domains and capabilities.
Step 2
Recommend the route
Let AgentRouter compare the current routes, prices, and route availability before the first execute call.
Step 3
Execute the capability
Run the selected workflow through the chosen route while AgentRouter handles pricing, wallet debits, and upstream settlement.

Pricing By Task
These examples translate the current live route prices into workflow questions operators usually evaluate before shipping a domain into an agent.
| Task | Route | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| OCR one document image | Gemini (document.ocr.gemini.mpp) | 10 credits ($0.01) | Recover readable text from a scan or photo. |
| Extract layout and tables | Gemini (document.layout.extract.gemini.mpp) | 10 credits ($0.01) | Return higher-level structure instead of plain text only. |
| Parse one equation-heavy page | Gemini (document.equation.parse.gemini.mpp) | 10 credits ($0.01) | Best when mathematical notation matters. |
| Parse one handwritten note | Gemini (document.handwriting.parse.gemini.mpp) | 10 credits ($0.01) | Use when pen-written content is the primary input. |
Pricing note: 1000 credits = $1 USD. Raw API responses still return numeric credit fields such as creditsCharged.
Why AgentRouter
Recommendation happens before execution, so the agent can compare current route supply and pricing instead of hard-coding one provider forever. The same routed contract stays stable even as provider coverage or transport paths change underneath.
FAQ
It is the routed layer that lets an AI agent recover OCR text, page layout, equations, and handwriting from visual documents through one document domain.
Use OCR when you mainly need readable text. Use layout extract when the agent also needs tables, blocks, and document structure.
Use equation parse when the input contains mathematical notation and the goal is a machine-readable formula output rather than plain text recovery.
No. AgentRouter handles route recommendation and execution across the currently live document routes behind one wallet.
